A fire burned more than four thousand corpses.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky, piercing the eyes and choking the nose.
The thick smoke rose and covered the sky and the sun.
More than 4,000 corpses were all burned on fire.
After the fire ignited, Wang Can led the troops and continued to advance.
The army left Ziwu Valley and headed straight for Chang'an.
Wang Can led his troops to break through the checkpoint in Ziwu Valley, and the road to Chang'an was already smooth, with no checkpoints that could stop the army.
If you want to intercept Wang Can's army, unless Zhang Ji leads an army to resist Wang Can, Wang Can's army will march straight in and reach Chang'an in no time.
When Wang Can captured Ziwu Valley, Cao Cao led his army to attack Hangu Pass, hoping to break through the pass as soon as possible.
Cao Cao and Wang Can both received news that Ma Teng was attacking Chang'an.
The three princes all tried their best to race against time to lead their troops to Chang'an as soon as possible.
When Wang Can destroyed Ziwu Valley, Cao Cao was also speeding up.
Hangu Pass is named after it is locked in a canyon and is as deep and dangerous as a letter.
Hangu Pass is located east of Chang'an and is the barrier to the east of Chang'an.
If Cao Cao wants to reach Chang'an in the west, he must capture Hangu Pass, otherwise there will be no chance of entering Chang'an first.
Whether it is Chang'an or Luoyang, Hangu Pass can be regarded as a strategic location.
Because Hangu Pass is between Chang'an and Luoyang, it is the throat to Luoyang in the east and Chang'an in the west.
If you want to reach Chang'an or Luoyang, you must pass through Hangu Pass.
The most important thing is that Hangu Pass is not only a pass, but also a military fortress.
It guards the throat of Xiaoshan Mountain, borders Hengling Mountains to the west, Juejian Mountain to the east, Qinling Mountains to the south, and the Yellow River to the north.
The terrain is dangerous.
The narrow roads can only accommodate a carriage.
This shows that the terrain is steep and the so-called carriages are not square. , the horse is not tied to the bridle, that's it.
The majestic ancient pass stands on the earth, which is daunting.
The setting sun hung in the sky, dyeing the sky red.
The sky gradually darkened, and the hazy colors decorated Hangu Pass in a way that seemed real and illusory.
The majestic and majestic Hangu Pass seemed like a prehistoric giant beast, prostrate on the earth and fell into a deep sleep.
After nightfall, torches were lit on the tower of Hangu Pass to disperse the dim night.
Soldiers wearing armor and holding spears patrolled back and forth on the tower.
A general wearing black armor and an iron helmet rested his hands on the female wall, looking at the dark night in the distance with a worried look in his eyes.
This man's name is Han Bing, a deputy general stationed at Hangu Pass.
The general stationed at Hangu Pass is named Peng Chi.
He is a heroic general under Fan Chou and is responsible for the security of Hangu Pass.
Cao Cao led his troops to attack Hangu Pass for several days, but could not conquer it.
At noon, Cao Cao led his troops back.
Peng Chi saw that Cao Cao's soldiers were tired, so he led his troops to pursue them.
Peng Chi led his army out at noon, but when it got dark, Peng Chi had not returned with his troops, which made Han Bing quite worried, fearing that Peng Chi would be killed by Cao Cao.
Han Bing stayed on the tower and did not go to rest.
Peng Chi didn't reply for a moment, and he couldn't relax for a moment.
The captain in charge of the patrol came over, clasped his fists and said, "General, please go and rest first.
I will be patrolling and waiting on the tower.
If I find General Peng coming back, I will notify you immediately."
Han Bing shook his head and rejected the captain's kindness.
The captain sighed and continued patrolling.
The bright moon rose into the sky, and a full moon hung in the sky.

The soft moonlight fell down, making the night hazy.
Time gradually passed, but the expression on Han Bing's face became more and more solemn.
Peng Chi hasn't come back yet, which makes Han Bing's heart feel heavy and he already has a bad feeling.
At some point, small black dots appeared in the distance.
Immediately, the soldiers on the tower saw it and shouted: "General, there is someone, there is someone, maybe General Peng is back."
When Peng Chi heard the news, he saw a group of figures appearing a hundred meters away from Hangu Pass.
Although he could only see the silhouette of a person in the hazy moonlight and could not see clearly who it was, Han Bing had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
After a moment, Han Bing's heart sank because there were not many people there, only about twenty people.
Judging from this group of fast running cavalry, they were probably the defeated Xiliang Army.
Peng Chi was probably defeated by Cao Cao.
"Da da" The sound of horse hooves came in waves, and more than twenty cavalrymen rode fast on their horses.
The faces of these more than 20 cavalrymen were full of worry.
They looked embarrassed, their armors were damaged, their buns were messy, and there were many blood stains on their faces.
Each of the soldiers galloped wildly, speeding up their horses to send letters.
Gu Guan rushed away.
The leader of this group of soldiers was a captain riding a horse.
On the horse's back was a general.
The general was lying on his horse with his head down.
His bun was messy, his eyes were tightly closed, his face was like gold paper, and his whole person's breath seemed to be gone, and he was already on the verge of death.
A trace of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and his fists were clenched together without letting go.
While the war horse was galloping, the general still showed no sign of waking up.
This person is Peng Chi, the guard of Hangu Pass.
The captain on horseback was in a very embarrassed state.
His breathing seemed a little rapid, his face was covered with blood stains, and the armor on his body was broken in all directions and covered with wounds.
However, this general's eyes were bright and sparkling, exuding an intelligent light.
He raised his head and glanced at Hangu Pass not far away, with a happy expression on his face.
"Quick, speed up" The captain screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice a little hoarse.
With a loud roar, he urged the horses to run quickly, and more than twenty cavalrymen around him also ran quickly.
"Rumble" In the darkness, in the distance behind the captain, countless pursuers came.
At the front of the pursuers was a group of cavalry.
The cavalry shouted loudly with an excited look on their faces.
Behind the cavalry, the infantry caught up.
There is no doubt that the army chasing Peng Chi is Cao Cao's army.
Among the pursuing troops, there were two generals at the front of the cavalry who were running extremely fast.
The man on the left has a rugged face and a muscular body.
He is a typical tall man with a beard.
He held the horse's rein in his left hand, and held a long knife in his right hand.
The long knife was extremely sharp and shone with an icy light under the moonlight.
This person is Xiahou Dun, a general under Cao Cao.
Xiahou Dun galloped forward, shouting loudly, urging the soldiers behind him to catch up quickly.
On Xiahou Dun's right, there was another general.
This man has thin cheeks, a slender body, strong and strong, a knife-like face with sharp edges, and deep and lively eyes that give people a feeling of shrewdness and intelligence.
Holding an iron gun, he galloped on horseback, his eyes staring at the brightly lit Hangu Pass, flashing a little bit of spirit.
This person was Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan.
Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan led their cavalry to pursue Peng Chi and quickly approached Hangu Pass.

Cao Cao led the infantry forward, behind the cavalry.
On the tower, Han Bing was startled when he saw a dark and blurry shadow in the distance.
It is obvious that the Xiliang army is fleeing in the front, and Cao Cao's army is in the rear.
He clearly remembered that Peng Chi led more than 2,000 soldiers to pursue Cao Cao.
Now he was beaten by Cao Cao and only a few dozen cavalry were left.
It was so surprising.
However, Han Bing did not directly ask the soldiers to open the city gate because he had not yet determined whether the deserter was Peng Chi.
If the cavalry running back from the city tower were Cao Cao's cavalry, they would be leading the wolf into the house.
The sound of horse hooves sounded in the night sky, and more than twenty cavalrymen arrived at Hangu Pass.
The captain on the horse raised his head and yelled: "General Han, open the city gate quickly, the general can't hold it anymore."
Han Bing stuck out his head and shouted: "Where is the general?"
He looked down and glanced around, but he didn't see Peng Chi.
However, he also saw a general lying on the captain's horse, unable to see his true appearance clearly. s: Four guaranteed updates are completed, and more updates will be added in the evening
